Gary was the name for last years male and sorry I am not sure it's him, but I think there is a link to email someone on the HOME page if you have any questions.  :)

Yes, I have an e-mail into Elli Jilek to see whether she or Gord Court have been able to ID the male yet. According to Gord... "Callie was born on the Balzac Gas Plant in May of 2003 and began nesting at the U of C in 2006".

Callie and Gary have two hatches...
RCF, I'm curious, how do you know the male's name is Gary? ??? I have seen the male referred to as Gary on the chat board but have not found anywhere that indicates he has been ID'd yet. Has he? And if so, do you know where he is from?

Yes, 2 hatches now! :D 2nd hatch must have been from the egg I saw a large pip in last evening.

One of Callie's chicks has hatched and there appears to be quite a large pip in a 2nd egg! :D

Callie laid a 3rd egg around noon today, Calgary time. :D And for the 1st time in 16 yrs., Elli, the biologist at this nest site observed a live "drop". Needless to say, she sounded very excited in her post... You can view some great egg photos at the following link...
